Sprint has reportedly started shipping the EVO 4G LTE to customers who pre-ordered the phone.

Verizon announced on Tuesday that its Jetpack 890L 4G LTE hotspot will be available on May 24th for $19.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and with a new two-year contract.

Amazon just started offering a $40 credit for anyone who purchases any of Verizon Wireless’s 4G LTE smartphones. The deal applies from handsets priced at just $0.01, such as the DROID RAZR or DROID BIONIC 4G, which means you’ll basically be paid to purchase the device, and even high-end best-sellers such as the Samsung Galaxy

The EVO 4G in 2010 was a big deal for Sprint. Not only was it the first U.S. phone to offer WiMAX, but the device was also fast, beautiful and stood out as probably the best (at the time) Android smartphone on the market. But Sprint began to lose its way, resulting in a lull of

FedEx just swung by and dropped off AT&T’s latest Windows Phone, the Samsung Focus 2. The phone is Samsung’s first 4G LTE-enabled Windows Phone and offers a similar feature set to the Focus S. It’s equipped with a 4-inch Super AMOLED screen, a 1.4GHz single-core processor, an 5-megapixel rear-facing camera and a front-facing camera for

Sprint just confirmed the EVO 4G LTE delay, which we originally reported on last night, in its official forums. The carrier is not able to provide an exact availability date for its brand new 4G LTE flagship smartphone at this time.

FedEx showed up recently with Sprint’s LG Viper 4G LTE and I’ve had a few days now to play with it and bring you a few initial impressions as well as an unboxing gallery. I love the hardware design of the Viper 4G LTE, which came as a surprise since I wasn’t expecting a whole

Verizon Wireless announced on Tuesday that it will activate its 4G LTE network in 28 new markets and expand its existing 4G LTE footprint in 11 active markets on May 17th. The carrier will have a total of 258 U.S. markets covered with its new network once those new markets are live and said it

LightSquared has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The company originally tried to launch a nationwide 4G LTE network in the United States but the FCC ruled that the company’s 4G technology interfered with GPS networks. LightSquared tried fighting back against the FCC’s ruling and said that the benchmark tests were performed at much higher power levels than

Apple’s new iPad is the first of its iOS devices to be equipped with 4G LTE technology. It’s great if you’re in the United States and you can take advantage of those super speedy LTE networks from AT&T and Verizon, but for most international customers, it’s almost useless. You see, despite being advertised as a

We’ve heard several reports that Apple’s new iPhone will offer a bigger screen and adopt Liquidmetal technology in one form or another. The most recent reports suggested that Apple’s next iPhone will have a metal backside, although a new report from iMore on Friday said that may never come to fruition. In fact, iMore’s sources say

Not only did AT&T’s decision to lock down its HTC One X’s device’s bootloader upset customers, it also made non-AT&T customers a bit nervous about the status of their carrier’s HTC One handset’s bootloader. Well, if you happen to be a Sprint subscriber and you’ve been eyeing the forthcoming HTC EVO 4G LTE, then you’ll

Samsung just announced its latest flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S III, but the South Korea-based company isn’t slowing down any time soon.

We already learned during Sprint’s first Network Vision session in October of last year that the company plans to deploy 15 4G LTE devices during 2012. During a follow-up event at CTIA 2012 in New Orleans on Wednesday, Sprint took the stage during a press breakfast and confirmed that it’s still on track to release

We just swung by a beautiful old mansion in the Garden District of New Orleans during CTIA 2012 to get a close-up look of AT&T’s Samsung Focus 2. The Focus 2 runs the latest version of Windows Phone, with support for 4G LTE, and costs half as much as Nokia’s Lumia 900. It’s equipped with

AT&T just announced its latest Windows Phone — Samsung’s first 4G LTE Windows Phone — the Samsung Focus 2.

The phone is similar to the original Focus S but

Samsung just unveiled the Galaxy S III during a press event in London. We’re there reporting live, but we also just caught wind that Samsung is planning to launch a 4G LTE-equipped version of the Galaxy S III in the United States this summer. Europeans, however, will be able to get their hands on the

LTE may be on Sprint’s mind, but that doesn’t mean it has forgotten its relationship with WiMAX. Yes, the “4G” network the carrier launched all the way back in 2008 is still being touted as a “beneficial” technology in Sprint marketing materials obtained by TechnoBuffalo. What kind of benefits does WiMAX offer? Glad you asked. Here’s what

During a press briefing at BlackBerry World 2012 in Orlando, Research In Motion CEO Thorsten Heins promised that RIM will launch a 4G-capable BlackBerry PlayBook later this year. The device will support LTE networks, but Heins didn’t provide an exact launch date for the enhanced tablet. He did, however, say that enterprise customers will have

Sprint has already promised to continue offering its unlimited data plans with its new 4G LTE smartphones, but now we know that the carrier will continue that tradition with the next iPhone (iPhone 5?) also.

AT&T on Thursday announced three new 4G LTE markets, bringing its total number of LTE markets to 35.

AT&T’s 4G LTE network was dubbed the fastest in the nation in a third-party speed test that was conducted across thirteen locations within the United States. The tests, conducted by PCWorld, found that AT&T offered the fastest 4G LTE data speeds (9.56Mbps) when it came to measuring download throughput, but that Verizon’s 4G LTE network

AT&T is again selling the Nokia Lumia 900 on its website following a few days where it appeared the carrier had run out of its initial stock. Even though it wasn’t available online, shoppers should still have been able to grab a unit through third-party retailers such as Amazon.com or from a local AT&T location
